I feel, perhaps predictably, strongly about this. If you also do, this post shows a way to steer your borrowing with Libby to books with a real person doing the audiobook reading.

Perfect Days, shot in Tokyo by 78 year old Wim Wenders, really has a valedictory feel. It is deeply moving. And the last shots, close on Koji Yakusho‘s face, with such a range of emotions shown, are astonishing. He won Best Actor at Cannes for this performance. Richly deserved.

I've said this before: a Michelle Yeoh + Ming-Na Wen sapphic John Wick/Equalizer type movie where they're retired spies or assassins or whatever, living a quiet life when something happens that causes them to have to go kill a BUNCH of dudes.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Going to lose my mind if I see another local police department who thinks it's their job to "maintain peace" by protecting DHS goons from residents. If you want peace and safety in your city, have law enforcement block off streets and prevent DHS from causing and accelerating chaos.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Thank you, soil bacterium.
British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance.

Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.

That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.

With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.

Wrote about data from last week's elections that brought some good news about zoomer guys who broke for Trump in 2024.

When I was this age, I went from being a socialist, to a moderate liberal, to a libertarian Iraq war hawk, and back to being a progressive liberal.
Young folks' politics don't solidify until later on.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Moms for Liberty—the group
that likes to ban books—suffered a huge loss on Tuesday.

All 31 candidates they had running for school board elections lost.

Turns out people don’t like their freedoms taken away.
